Christian McCaffrey was one of the top names in the trading rumors. Now, after a long wait, the Panthers running back will leave Carolina, but not to play for the Rams nor the Bills as he has landed in another NFC team.

Panthers‘ season has been very rough. After a disastrous 1-5 beginning, they started thinking ahead. Christian McCaffrey was probably the best weapon they could use to trade, and now they have reached an agreement to send him out of Carolina.

Of course the expectations are still high for what Christian McCaffrey could do. The running back shined in Carolina, but now it’s time to do the same in another NFC team and help them as he did with the Panthers.
